I could not bring myself to go to work today. I feel like I am going crazy, can't stop crying and am so depressed. My 28 year old son and his girlfriend of 2 years broke up after a very tumultuous last 4 months. I have only one child and love this girl like a daughter. They lived with us until a few months ago when she got a better paying job and moved out but would not let him move in with her. She has many issues like bipolar and is very self centered. I know she sounds horrible and my gut knows this is not someone I want my son to spend his life with but for some reason that no one can understand I love her and miss her terribly. They tried to make it work but it was back and forth for the last 3 months. Finally she said some pretty hurtful things to him which I only know a little of and he said it is over. I don't blame him but it is putting a strain on our relationship because he cannot understand why I still have feelings for her. He wants me to have no communication with her and I am having a hard time with that. It has helped me to spend the last hour reading all of your stories. I am going to therapy. I have always been such a strong self assured person and my head knows I should let her go but my heart hurts so bad. Has anyone on these posts gone to a professional or taken anti depressive medications? Even the therapist can't understand my attachment to this girl. Everywhere I look I see some reminder of her. I have lots of friends and a great husband but she filled some void that I can't seem to fill. My son wants me to just back off and I am trying but I too snoop all day.
No one really gets it and just keep telling me it is for the best. I want to be her friend. Any advice?
